[6pack] Fixing Paint Chips

[Bob Danielson]

The downside of driving my car as much as I do is that it picks up its share
of stone hits which chip the paint. I had an auto paint shop mix me some
touch up paint and wonder what's the best way to fix all these small chips.
I tried using a very small fine tipped brush but the paint doesn't really
fill the "hole" so there's a very defined edge between the old and the new.
So my questions are:
- Should I first strip the polish from the spots I want to touch up and
what's the best thing to use for stripping polish?
- Do you have to wet sand to get the old and new paint to "blend" and get
rid of the chip edge? If so what do you recommend using for wet sanding?

I'm in no way trying to achieve a concurs finish here.....I'm just trying to
fill and protect.

Thanks
Bob
